@karisimo

A childhood favorite. My friend and I tried to write our own book (just like the two friends in Brink's book) about two friends who visit a dude ranch because, of course, we knew everything about growing up on a dude ranch and meeting some cowboys! 🤠🤠

Karisimo Love the story to go with the title!! ❣️ 6mo
dabbe @Karisimo 🧡🤎💛 I think I still have that book in my garage--in a spiral notebook with Jacyln Smith from CHARLIE\'S ANGELS on the cover! 🤩 6mo

Mary Giaccio is spending more and more time at the Wakefield house, and Jessica is not happy about it. She notices Mary following Mrs. W around a lot and always inviting herself over. Mary is a foster child and it turns out Mrs. W looks uncannily like her real mother, whom she is sure is still out there looking for her. Sure enough, Mary‘s mom shows up at the end and we hear the whole sordid tale of how Mary was kidnapped at age 4 by her ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 Mother‘s friend, Annie. Annie changed Mary‘s last name then abandoned her a few months later, and Mary has been in foster care ever since. Mary‘s mom was able to find her when Annie was recently arrested for shoplifting and they are then able to connect the dots. Like @TorieStorieS said, it‘s straight out of a soap opera! 😆 Luckily, Mary is reunited with her mother and they also decide to stay in Sweet Valley. 4⭐️ #SweetValley #SweetValleyTwins 7mo
TorieStorieS Mary‘s storylines are always straight from the soaps!! Plus she is the only Sweet Valleyer to have three last names!! 🤣 7mo

Mary Giaccio, a 7th grader and Unicorn Club member with Jessica, plays a starring role here in a downright soap opera plot! A foster child and relatively new to #SweetValley, she fits in well and even gets along well with Liz who finds most Unicorns snobby. Lately, whenever Mary is at the Wakefield house, she spends most of her time with Alice! Jess feels strange about sharing her mother. Liz learns the truth of Mary‘s background—& saves the day!

It was absolutely lovely to read this amazing book in the city where the action occurs - Rio de Janeiro. There is so much sensibility, pain and emotion in this book, all conveyed to the reader in such a subtle & enjoyable way. Such a complex and good book, in spite of being easy to read! I just couldn‘t put it down and finished it by the pool, while enjoying a Caipirinha, under the soft tropical rain.

I made a brief visit to Toronto yesterday and had to stop by my favourite bookstore, BMV on Bloor, where I picked up a couple of vintage mysteries.

I have @TheAromaofBooks to thank for this one—I saw your recent post and it sounded delightful. So I tracked the book down online, and it was indeed delightful. 😊 I love these older, almost-classic children‘s books as a sweet escape. All the childhood best-friend hijinks rang true for me, with the book-writing and the dolls and the imagination!

dabbe I still have my childhood copy. 💙❤️💙 2y
LeahBergen I have this waiting on my shelves! ❤️ 2y
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I'm so glad you enjoyed this one!! I thought the author really dealt so well with that bittersweet age where you start to outgrow your toys. ❤ So many fun adventures in this book!! 2y

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks She really does! I loved how that transition came naturally as part of the girls‘ friendship—neither one leaving the other behind. I loved how at times they were just enthusiastic kids—dressing up as rag dolls when the other girls were sophisticated Martha Washingtons (which is itself hilarious), then wondering why none of the boys asked them to dance 😂 And then the college dance with its glimpses of growing up. So well done. (edited) 2y
TheAromaofBooks My best friend and I loved our paper dolls growing up and spent hours crafting elaborate stories with them, as well as cutting out their clothes and dressing them, etc. I remember so well the way we slowly transitioned to talking more and playing less as we got older - isn't it funny how that works? It wasn't because we felt embarrassed, we just literally outgrew them, and I think it's so funny how that happens! ⬇ 2y
TheAromaofBooks But I think that's why I both loved this books as a child, when I was closer to their age and related to their adventures, and as an adult, when it is more nostalgic. Anyway, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 2y
